It's a big place - can't help it if you only know the bogan areas you know.
I've been here for years and know people all around the greater Melbourne area as well as inner burbs. I can't help it if I attract a better class of person

Re: Melbourne
Having just returned after a 2 week visit i'm not sure about the place at all.I really cant see what all the fuss is about.Dont get me wrong there was certain area's (mainly in the outer suburbs) that i liked and some of the beaches were good but apart from that..........
Am i missing something? i know we only went for a couple of weeks and cant expect to get a real insight.
Ive heard that Melbourne grows on you....i really hope thats true

( even more confused after our trip than i was before we went ! )

What was it that didn't meet with your expectations? We nearly moved there from Sydney 8 years ago but ended up in Brisbane. For me it was simply the weather. I love Melbourne, I think it's the best city in Oz and we visit quite often, but I wouldn't live there as I enjoy the warmer climate and beach lifestyle and at the end of the day, we don't tend to do much city stuff in our day to day lives.
You really need to look at what you want to achieve from your move. Maybe you just didn't see enough or maybe it just isn't the right place for you?

Perhaps you really need to ask yourself what is your motivation from emigrating and how would Melbourne fit into this framework, if it can. I agree with Fraser, Melbourne isn't for everyone...no where is

Melbourne as a whole city is very varied, some great areas, the leafy, the old, the cosmo, the beach, the city and the downright cultureless. It really does matter that where you end up suits want you want at that time.I think Lee needs to concentrate on the work and schooling aspect, lifestyle a little less and remember that wherever he settles might not be forever.
Melbourne is a grower in my opinion but I might end up in Brisbane at some later date.

Saying that, I'm glad I severed my ties to Noble Park
How's you, anyway?

Re: Melbourne
Yes, back more regularly now. I have felt the need to stay away from everyone. Would love to meet up with you and missus soon.
